Media Literacy

The Commission offered a contract to provide European scale expertise to identify and analyze the real situation regarding the use of audiovisual content in European schools, as well as the applicable legal framework and the opinions of the industry. The report had to include a complex presentation of best practices in the matter across the 28 Member States and some of its neighbors. WE coordinated a consortium with the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, the European Think Tank on Film and Film Policy, The European Association of Teachers, and a respected researcher from London’s Queen Mary Intellectual Property Institution’s Network. The resulting study is still the object of analysis among experts across the continent.

Art Evaluation in Parliament

The “valorization of the European Parliament Art Collection” was a contract awarded by the European Parliament, who was in need of an expert assessment of its own art collection with the aim not only of evaluating its current artistic value, but also of developing a short-term and long-term strategy for its best management, curatorship and communication to the European citizens. CUMEDIAE put together and lead a highly qualified consortium of experts (with Spanish partners Expo Actual and Around Art), which resulted in an excellent report to the full satisfaction of the Parliament, with its results still in full implementation.

SPECIAL PROJECTS

Culture Agora, a free-accessible wiki platform dedicated to arts, culture and creative industries, is one of the largest long-term sustainable projects managed by Cumediae. This user-friendly online meeting space creates visibility and encourages connectivity for creatives and organizations within the cultural and creative industries that are “like icebergs in the deep ocean” isolated and without access to useful information of the latest opportunities throughout Europe and Southern Mediterranean. Culture Agora is now probably the largest collection of updated information and opportunities on what’s happening in the creative industries in Europe. Would you like to find information related to your cultural interests or increase the visibility of your written or audio-visual content? Then stay connected with the arts by using Culture Agora.
